Venus is so close
to the sun, so that could be the centre of earthquakes each year, It could have
more than 17,000 venusquakes a year.
Far away planets like
Pluto and their moons have lava and vents and to things like cold freezes. But
if God made the planets in one instant, this could be normal.
There could be
thousands of quakes on Venus each year, and researchers might be able to detect
them using balloons floating high above the planet’s surface.
Recent
observations of volcanic features on Venus, such as vents and lava
streams, have shown the planet is much more geologically active than we
thought. This makes it more likely that there is also seismic activity, or quakes,
on Venus.
